Now let’s move toward our main topic for this article. The following is the detailed process of preparing beetroot powder lip balm. 

Step 1: Prepare beetroot juice

The first step is to make beetroot juice. First of all, wash out the beetroot, then peel its hard outer layer.

Cut the beetroot into pieces and put them into your food processor.

Grind the pieces to get the juice out of them. For the sake of the vibrancy of color, do not mix water into the beetroot.

Step 2: Store the juice

Now it’s time to strain and store the juice you just ground out of beetroot pieces. Perform this step with total attentiveness. Make sure that nothing other than beetroot gets mixed into the liquid.

Strain the juice using a good quality strainer. Use a clean container to preserve the juice so you can use it in the future. Make sure that the box you are using is clean. You might consider using an old lip balm container for storing the juice. Use a container wide enough that you can easily use the balm from it with your hands.

Step 3: Mix coconut oil

Now that we are done with our beetroot juice, it is time to introduce our next ingredient. The prestigious “coconut oil.” Now, add one teaspoon of natural coconut oil to the liquid.

The quantity of coconut oil depends on the resultant color you are looking for. For example, if you need a sheer lip color, you can use more than one teaspoon of coconut. But here is a caution, never take less than one teaspoon of coconut oil because less quantity can result in dryness and lunacy of lips.

Honey, beeswax, and petroleum jelly can be used as an alternative for coconut oil due to their higher moisturizing abilities.

Now combine the mixture using a spoon or toothpick.

Store the mixture in the refrigerator until it turns into a gel. Preserving the balm in the fridge or refrigerator is essential if you want to get long-lasting effects from this lip balm.

Step 4: Apply the balm

Now here is our final step. And we are sure that you were anticipating this one the most.

Apply the lip balm to your lips, and you will see a sheer and soft pink tint on your lips. But after the cream oxidizes, your lips will experience a beautiful red shade. The red tint will suit any skin tone, and it will prove to be your facial skin beauty optimizer.
